THE former girlfriend of terrorism suspect Numan Haider is reeling after his shock death.

Harder's friends, who knew him as Norman, have described how he went off the rails after the couple's split.

The Herald Sun has been in contact with the 18-year-old, but she and her family have asked for privacy. The newspaper has chosen not to name her. The girl's friends have said she was absolutely shocked by his attack on police and subsequent death.

It is understood she attended Haider's funeral at the Afghan Mosque in Doveton on Friday. The family were said to have then left home for a few days to clear their heads.

The girl's well-respected family live in Endeavour Hills, the same suburb Haider grew up in and where he was fatally shot by police last Tuesday after he stabbed two policemen with a knife.

Police and Muslim leaders have called for calm.

The girl and Haider both attended the same high school, Lyndale Secondary College, where it is believed they began dating.

It is claimed Haider had been "radicalised" by extremist group Al-Furqan and was recently seen waving an Islamic State flag at Dandenong Mall.

Despite earlier reports that they were married, the Herald Sun has been told that is incorrect.

A neighbour said the ex-girlfriend's family were good people.

"They are quiet, they looked after the place, I think they're away now since all this has happened," he said.

He recalled about six months ago giving a young man and his neighbour's daughter a jump-start when his car would not start, but he was unsure if it was Haider.

"I saw the photo in the paper and it wasn't someone I immediately recognised, but he may have recently shaved his head," he said.

"I was aware of the car coming and going all the time, I actually thought that he lived there.

"He wasn't one of those that used to tear up and down the street, and we've got a few of them. I didn't really speak to her but he was always very respectful."
